THANK YOU
For Your Assistance in
Criminal Prosecution
We know that court
can be intimidating for
victims and witnesses.
Our goal is to make the
encounter as comfortable
and positive as possible.
This guide will answer
some of your questions.
If you have others, don’t
hesitate to ask them.

A Safe Place
Defendants are NOT ALLOWED in the
Victim Witness Center. Alert staff immediately
if the defendant is in or near the center. Also, let
staff know if you have a problem with intimida-tion
by a defendant or his/her family.
How Long Will Court Take?
You may be excused after only a few minutes or
you might be needed most of the day. When you
are called may depend upon:
• Whether all witnesses are present
• How many cases are assigned to a judge
• The availability of the defense attorney
Case Status
Your advocate will keep you advised of case
status. If you are not called by noon, you will be
excused for lunch and asked to return by 1:30
p.m. There is a snack bar on the first floor of the
courthouse and restaurants within a few blocks.
Parking Meters
If you are parked at a meter, you must keep
money in it to avoid a ticket. Sorry, but we do
not have the authority to “fix” a parking ticket.
Tell Us Where You Are
If you leave to put money in a meter or any
reason, please advise the receptionist.
Witness Fee
If you are a subpoenaed witness, you are
entitled to a witness fee to help cover parking
and travel expenses. When you check in, sign
for the fee and a check will be mailed. The fee is
determined by the Oklahoma Legislature.

Witness Center and the DA’s office.
